I'm not sure how it's related to bikes, but I did get into conversations about age of consent on lemmy few times. And it seemed that people I talked to didn't grasp concept of different countries having different laws.
Really you haven't lived until someone corners you at a party and explains how the Non-aggression principle applies to this stuff. It is deeply confusing and worrisome.
What do laws have to do with morality?
Indeed, but nobody mentioned morality. Conversation was specifically about laws.
Downvotes show that many people calling libertarians bad words are unable to grasp such a simple difference.
Hey I didn't call libertarians any bad words, I mean obviously bad words. I called them all Republicans trying to have sex with a Democrat. That's it. I don't even know if it's any more of a lie than wearing makeup is. Since you know, everyone fucking knows the deal.
From the point of view of an actual libertarian Republicans and Democrats are much closer to each other than both are to libertarians.
But there's a weird kind of people in the New World thinking that libertarian is just something between the two, yes. Probably someone initially mixed up libertarian and libertine, and then it went out of control.
fact: all actual liberatarians live in Scotland. With the True Scotsmen.
No one is paying you to talk that way. Just a fyi.
I laughed so hard that coffee came out of my nose. You just made my day. Thank you.
:) your welcome. Have a good day german-friend
ok, I'm curious. How do you know I'm german? :-)
Your username ends with .de
ah, right - didn't think about that. Thanks.
You are using the word "libertarian" wrong. Just a fyi. Otherwise you are a commie because Republicans would call you that.
Similar to elderly people in Soviet countries struggling to differentiate homosexuals and pedophiles.
No. Using it correctly. You can have a pride parade about it if you want but I not calling you what you are not.
